The HelloFresh settlement was finalized by the court on August 14, 2025 and covers all California residents who were enrolled in an “Automatic Renewal Product Subscription” at any time between January 1, 2019 and August 18, 2025, who were charged for the first shipment without consent, cancelled their subscription after the first shipment, and never received a refund for the unwanted shipment.

The court-approved website for the HelloFresh settlement can be found at https://Grocery-Settlement.com/.

HelloFresh settlement class members who submit a valid, timely claim form are eligible to receive up to a full refund of the amount they paid to HelloFresh as a result of the automatically renewing subscriptions. The amount each class member receives from the HelloFresh settlement may be pro-rated depending on the total number of valid claims that are filed from the $1 million consumer restitution fund.

According to court documents, the remainder of the settlement fund will be distributed among the district attorneys’ offices of several California counties.

Per court documents, payouts will be issued to consumers via check, which must be cashed within 90 days of issuance before expiration.

As part of the settlement, HelloFresh has also agreed to make certain business and promotional changes that more effectively disclose to consumers their enrollment in product subscription services, including larger text notices, clearer terms of service and simpler means of cancellation.
